QUESTION
Does this person have a libel/defamation case against us?
Asked on Jul 31st, 2019 on Libel, Slander and Defamation - Utah
More details to this question:
We had to remove a person as board president of our nonprofit organization because of poor financial decisions (not theft or embezzlement). In a social media environment, one of our board members indicated that this person was removed “for financial reasons.” This person now claims that she was removed from consideration for a job because of this comment on social media. This person has not mentioned a lawsuit, but we want to be prepared.

Without reviewing the documents, as well as any potential bases for the other person's alleged complaint, I can't really answer you with any real information. A person can file a lawsuit for any reason -- the question is whether that person will win.
So, the person may have such a case.
Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss.
